EDWARD S. HU'I'TON, OF LAPEL, INDIANA.

'ACHINE FOR MAKING HOLLOW GLASSYARE.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, EDWARD S. HU'I'TON, a citizen of theUnited States. and a resident of Lapehcounty of Madison, and State of Indiana, have invented a certain new and useful Machine for Makin Hollow Glassware; and I do hereby dec are that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being bad to the accomiopanying drawings, in which like letters refer to like parts.

. The object of this invention is to improve the construction of machines for making hollow glassware and improve the operation .ofsuchfl machines, for automatically performing all steps 1n the operation of pressing the glass in the blank mold, transferring the same to the blow mold and blowing the glass in the blow mold for completing the article, the machine being a continuously operative one.

, One feature of the invention consists in providing molds formed of two totally separate vertical sections and mounting and operating them so that said vertical sections will be moved against each other for closmg the mold and away from each other for 1. opening the mold. Also the lift-over means for transferring the blank from the press mold to the blow mold adapted to move the blank laterally from one mold into the other without lifting it above said molds, that is, by movin the blank laterally between the sections '0 the molds.

Another feature of the invention consists in lift-over means for transferring the blank which enters the mouth of the blank and engages the inner surface thereof for supporting the same instead of the outer surface, as heretofore.

Along with the fore oing is the further feature of invention 0 pressing the blank in inverted position and t on uprighting the press mold after the blank has been pressed and thereafter transferring the blank to the blow mold positionand lowering it into the blow mold.

Another feature of the invention consists in the means for mounting the sections of the blow mold in the rotary table of the machine so that the sections would be automatically brought together and separated at the right times in cotiperation with the blow head and bottom of the mold and also for turning the press mold a half revolution in Patented O t. .1917.

Application filed September 16, 1015. Serial No. 51,108.

its mouuiin and inverting the press mold for remixing .he glass and pressing the same n'lltt afterward uprigiiting the some preliminary to the transfer of blank and mold to file blowing position.

Another feature ofthe invention consists in mounting; in connection withthe table a press mold and a blow mold and providing a blow head and a bottom suitable for both of said molds and adapt-ed to be used first with a blank mold and thereafter with the blow mold.

Another feature of the invention consists in the cut-ofl' mechanism in combination with the constantly moving table} or, at least in the arrangement wherein the press mok into which the ether may be introduced, moves during tie cut-ofi'.

The full nature of the invention will be understood from the accompanying drawings and the following description and claims.

In the drawin s, Figure 1 is aside elevation of said mac ine with the pre s mold in position for a gather of glass. i 2 is an elevation of therjght-hand side 0 the machine, as shown in Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a horizontal section on the line 33 of Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is a horizontal section on the line H of Fig. 1. Fig. 5 is a vertical section through a portion of the machine on the cal section on the line 1010 of Fig. 5 withth'e parts broken away and with both ends of the rose mold closed. Figs 11 is the same as ig. 10 with the blow head elevated and bottom lowered from the press mold. Fig. 12 is a horizontal section 'throu h the parts on the. line 12-12 of Fig. 11. ig. 13 1s a horizontal section on the line 13-13 of Fig. 10. Fig. 14 is "a horizontal section on the line 14-14 of Fig. 11. Fig. 15 is 5.

In view of a portion of the machine 8110?!- mg part of the table and means n'iounted thereon at the gathering point. .Fig. 16 is the same showing the parts in altered position at the time the gather of glass is being drawn upward into position during the blowing of the article in the blow mold.-

Fig. 23 is similar to Fig. 7 with .the blow head and lift-over in position in the rose mold for the lift-over toengage the b ank. Fig. 2-1 is a side elevation of a portion of the table and the inner section of the press mold partially broken away, and a. section of the blow head, lift-over and blank, showing them as the blank is being removed from between the sections of the press mold.

General arrangement.-There is shown in Fig. 1 a base 10 having four rigid uprights 11 with a top frame 12 secured on the. up-

per ends thereof so that the parts 10, II and I 12 constitute a rigid frame. The uprights 11 may be formed of three pieces,-as sho'wn,

but they are rigid when assembled. The

top frame 12 is a skeleton frame having the so a.

form shown in Fig. 20. There ,is a table support rigid with said fralme,'said table support consisting of a. tubular column 13 rising centrally from the base 10 and a horizontal circular top frame or plate 14 upon which the table 15 is. mounted by means of the intermediate balls 16 operating in suitable races formed in the supporting plate 14 and table 15 so that the table is rotated. The table is centrally secured to a column 20 whereby it is rotated and the table carries the press molds 17, blow molds 115 and columns 19 which carry the means for manipulating and operating the molds. In the machincehown there are six molds of each type and, therefore, six pairs of molds and there is one column 19 for and adjacent each pair of molds. The table also carries other mechanism which will hereafter be eigilained for operating the press molds.

The table is rotated continuously by the column 20. The lower end of it has bearing in the stationary column 13 and the upper end has bearing in the center of the top frame 12. Said column is turned by a Worm gear '22 secured thereon near'its upper end and engaged and driven by a worm 23 on a shaft and mounted in bearings 25 secured to the underside of the top frame 1). Said shaft :24 is driven by any suitable means, not shown.

Pros-s '2m lo's.'llie press o-old 17 is made of two longitudinal sections or halves and when assenil'iled is opened at both ends with a tapering chamber and when the blank is formed the narrow end of the mold chamher is downward for forming the neck of the blank while the enlarged end of the mold chamber is uppermost, as seen in Fig. 5. \Vhen the blank is being formed, the lower end of the press mold is inclosed by a bottom 26 and the upper end by a blow head 27, both said bottom and blow head tapering to fit tightly in flaring openings in the ends of the press mold, as shown. The ether of glass is inserted in the upper enar ed end of the fpress mold.

he mounting o the press mold is shown best in the central right-hand portion of Fig. 9, where there is a large opening 28 through the table and 'a. rectangular frame 30 narrower than said opening transversely of the table and about the same width as the frame radially of the tableand said frame is rotatably mounted by means of trunnions 31 and 32 in said table so that the frame 30 can turn on an axis radially with the table I Springs'33 are secured along the lower edge so'as tofurnish a, t.guideway about midway of said frame for e from the section 17 of the press mold. The

projections 34 have in them slots 35 into. 'which slots members of a frame 36 extend and are secured by pins 37. Said frame 36 consists of the two side bars, as shown in Fi 9, and an inner cross bar and is contra ly secured to a tube 38 extending radially of the table and having on its inner end a block 39 radially movable in a radial slot 40 in the table, see Fi s. 5 and 9. The inner half of the press mo d has also lateral extensions 34 slidably mounted in the frame 30 and having-slots 35 through which the side bars of the frame 36 can reciprocate without affecting or removing the inner half of the press mold. The inner half of the press mold is secured to a rod 42 which extends through the tube 38 radial of the table and has a block 43 secured on the inner end of it'and operating in the slot 40 in the table.

Therefore, the outer half of the press mold is reciprocated in the frame 30 by the frame 36, time 38 and block 39., while the inner half of the press mold is reciprocate-d in the frame 30 by the rod 4; and block 43. The blocks 39 and 43 are shown in Fig. 5, and they carryrollers 45 on the lower ends thereof which project into an annular recess 46 in the tablesupport 14 and which are actuated or reciprocated by fixed cam springs 47 and 48, and 49 and 50, as shown in Fig. 9, which are secured by means 51 and 52 in said recess 46 on the table support 15. 'lhero are two pairs of said springs, one pair l7 and 48 which flare and, therefore, spread the blocks 39 and 423 apart and thus draw the sections of the press mold apart and said lateral projections 3t pair of springs is immediately succeeded by the parts 4-9 and which converge-and draw said blocks 89 and 43 together to bring and hold the mold sections to ether, as illustrated in. Fig. 9, until the mo (1 sections are locked together by the bottom 26, 1

the springs, as heretofore explained, the bottom 26 is moved up to the closing. position shown in Fig. '5 from the open position shown in Fig. 1. Said bottom 1s carried on an upright- 52 yieldingly mounted on a hori, zontal arm 53 by means of a spring 54 surrounding the upright 52 and lying between.

the bottom atthe upper end of said upright and a washer 55 resting upon the arm 53. The upright extends through a slot 56 in said arm so as to be adjustable. The arm 53 is secured on'a vertical rod 57, see Figs'. 5

and 10, said rod being vertically movable n the hollow column 19 carried by the table,

as heretofore explained. Said column-.19 is supported on said table by an annular shoulder 59 and bolts therethrough, not shown. Said rod 57 is elevated by an inclined'tralck 60,.see Fig. 1, mounted on the base by'n i'eans ofiuprigh ts 61. The track is at the front. or gathering side of the machine and when it' elevates the rod 57, the bottom 26 will moved up to close the lower end of the rose mold, as seen in Fig. 5. There is 8. ba 162 on the lower end of the rod 57 for traveling on said track.

5 When the bottom 26 is elevated to a closing position, it is held and locked in such position by means shown in Figs. 10, 14 and The rod 57 has an annular-recess 63 into which the horizontally moving lockin plate 64 moves, when the rod 57 is elevate said locking plate being fulcrumed by a pin 65 in a hoi izontal slot in a stuffing box 66 screwed to the lower end 01': the co umn 19.

The locking plate 64 is fulcrumed between its, ends and is held closed by a spring 67 and is opened by engagement of the downwardly extending arm fidflom the table support 14, as the table is ihoved after the bin nk has'been pressed or o'rmed,'and when the locking plate is thus disengaged, the rod .-7 .7 will drop down by gravity to the positions shown in Figs. 1 and 11.

A plunger 70 is located and operates through the bottom :26 in the lower part of the press mold to press the neck of the blank. It has a plunger. rod 71 that extends down through the upright 52 and a ball 73 on the lower end thereoi rides upon a track 74 for elevating the plunger to the position shown in Fig. 5. There is a chamber 76 in the bottom to receive said plunger when it .mold throu 4 the blank 13 really pressed by the com- 7 is loaered down upon the upper end of the upright. 52 so as to hold the end of the plunger flush with the upper end of the bottom, as seen in Fig. 8. The plunger and plunger rod are perforated with a small air conduit, not shown, through which air is sup lied froman air tube 177 for assisting in orming the blow opening and chilling it. to maintain its form. At the same time that the plunger is operated on the end of the blank, the blank is being forced down into the lower part of the press mold and around the plunger by compressed air being introduced into the upper end of the press -a blow head 27. Therefore,

pressed air on top of it and around the plunger ratherthan being pressed bythe plunger ashes been common in some forms of g ass machines. The blow head 27 is lowered into place on the mold 17 after the gather of glass'hns been inserted and the press mold has an; annular groove 7 5 which receives anannular flange 76.0n the blow headfor enabling the blow head to lock the up er ends of the blowsections to other.

- e blow head 27-is mounted on t e lower end of "a tubular upright-77 adjustably mounted on warm 78 by the like means and like manner asthe-upri ht 52 is mount- 5131.11 the arm 53 below he arm '78 exte ds fronia tube 80 verticall reciprocable in '6 column 19 and with its -ower end surrounding therodB'LfTho' rod 57 has a recss 81 in its upper end a'nd the tube 80 has a slot 82in it so that a.:key 83 secured in the column 19 may project through the slot 82.:m'd intolthe recess Bland serve to stop and limit the downward movement of the rod 57, and also the u ward movement of the tube 80. The blow eads and tubes 80 are elevated by a fixed track 85 held in place by -uprights .86 extending down'from the top late12, as shown in Fig. 1. The lefthand end, as shown in Fig. 1, is inclined upward and at 'that point a roller 87 on the upper end of the tube 80 travels upward on said track to a horizontal position. The right-hand end of said track is inclined and one of the rollers 87 travels down the same and lets theb ow head 27 into the press mold gradually. g Compressed air is introduced mto the mold through said head by. means of an air tubo 88 enterin the upper end of a tubular lift-over 105 1n the upright 77. After the blank is pressed by air cooperating with the plungelgwhich during the operation is stationary, and the table is moved farther, one of the rollers 87 on the tube 80 comes in engagement with another inclined track 90 secured also to the top frame 12 by uprighfls 91. 1

Tummgthe press moZcl.-Aftcr the blank has been pressed and the bottom has been lowered therefrom and the blow head :27

A seen in Fig. 5,

I fingers 107 are inserted ever, is very slight, being necessary elevated therefrom, and the table moved farther, the press mold is returned from its inverted position shown in Figs. 5 and 6 to the upright position shown in Fig. '7, by an oscillatory movement of the frame 30. Said frame 250. as seen in Fig. 5, has a tubular trunnion 32 which has bearing in a bracket or arm 9-3 which is secured to the table, as

and extends downward therefrom. The trunnion 32 has also keyed on it a pinion 93 adapted to mesh with a segment-.il ear 9-1 secured on an arbor 95 mounted in t 1e lower part of the bracket or arm 92. Said segment is actuated by an arm 96 secured to said arbor 95 and having a roller 97 on its lower end, as seen in Fig. 6, in position to ride upon a track 98, see Fig. 6, which a is suspended from the table supporting frame 14 by arms 99. As the roller moves upon said track, it will operate the'segment 94 and cause a semi-revolution of the mold which will turn it to its upright position.

Later in the operation it becomes necessary to return said press mold from, its uprightposition, as shown in Fig. 7, back to the gathering position, as shown iniFig, 6, and for that purpose, another track 100 is necessary, it being supported from a mold carryin frame 14 by arms or bars 101, and the re [or 97 on the arm 96 engages the underside of said track which causes a reverse operation of the segment and a return semirevolution of the mold.

Transfer of the blank from the ass mold to the blow m0ld.--After tho'blan has been pressed, and the press mold inverted to the position shown in Fig. 7,the blow head 27 is again caused to be sent into what is now the upper end of the press mold and said blow head 27 and tube 77 have'in them a tubular lift-over device with the upper end of which the compressed air tube 88 is connected, as seen in Fig. 1, and it is movable independently of the tube 77 and blow head 27 and the lower end is formed in detail, as shown in Fig. 19, with vertical recesses having pivoted in theni oppositely located gripping fingers 107; The ivot pins 106 project through longitudina slots in said gripping fingers 107 so that the fingers can slide the contracted inner surface of the lower end of the hollow interior of the blow head 27 causes the lower ends of the fingers to Spread laterally farther and engage the inner surface of the neck of the blank sufiicient to support said blank when the press mold is removed. Said tube 105 and said or forced downward into the mouth of the blank by a track 108 mounted in connection with the top frame 12 by uprights 109, the underside of which is engaged by the upper end of the tube 105, as shown in Fig. .2. This movement, how only to down somewhat and as they do so This movement is controlled by a track 110.

connected with the top plate 12 by suitable uprights 111 over which one of the rollers 87 on the tube 80 travels, thus lifting the arm '78 which carries thB lIft-OVBI' 105 to enable the blank to clear the table. The blank is then transferred laterally in between the sections of the blow mold 115 which are now separate. This transfer is caused by the -oscillatory movement of the arm 78 from the position shown at the lower end of Fi 17 to the position shown in. Fig. 18. oscillatory movement is caused by an inward projection 116 from an arm 78 coming in engagement with a pin 117 extending down from the top plate 12.'while said arm 78 is in its elevated position and the further move ment of the table, therefore, will swing said arm to the position shown in Fig. 18. Then the roller 87 on the tube 80 rides down the track 110 and ennits the blank to enter the blow mold.- but will brin the blow head 27 in closin position with t e blow mold, as shown-in 1g. 8.

Blow mold mownting and operation.- Each blow mold is composed of two halves and when assembled the mold is open at each end, the upper end closed by the blow head, as shown in'Fig. 8. and the lower end by the bottom .36 which was also the bottom of the press mold. The bottom 26 was swung around from the position below the press mold to a position below the blow mold by the oscillatory movement of the rod 57 and arm 53 in the same manner as the tube'80 and arm 78 above. That is, as seen in Fig. 4, there is a projection 118 at theinner end of said arm 53 which engages a pin 119 projecting upward from the base 10 of the machine and this,swinging move ment of arm 53,occurs while the roller 62 at the lower end of the rod 57 is starting up and traveling on a track 120 mounted on the base by uprights 121 and thus the rod 57 is elevated until it is locked by the locking mold are separated by iln:

his

being adapted to be transferred from the press tatably mounted. After the ends of the blon mold have been closed. compressed air introduced for blowing the blank into iifilHliitarticle. as shown in Fig. 8. After the article has been blown, further operation of the table causes separation of the blow mold sections and of the blow head 2? zlliifl bottom 26 so that the finished article mm be removed or dropped down on a pad, not shown. It i to be observed that the bottom 1-36 has its upper surface properly shaped to give the desired formation to the bottom of the bottle and that this conformation of the bottom 26 does not interfere with it serving as a bottom also for the press mold. as heretofore explained.

The blow head 27 and bottom 26 and parts in which they a re mounted. are now returned back to their original position for pressing purposes in substantially the same manner as the were moved from the press mold to the blow mold. eineptine that instead of the projection 116 on arm 78 and projection 118 on arm 53 engaging the pins 117 and 11.). said arms are engaged by pins 125 ex tending down from the top plate 12 and the arms 33 are engaged by pins 126 extending up From the base plate 10. These latter pins being outside the fulcrum of the arms 78 and S2. n cessarily cause an opposite movement from the pins 137 and 119 which are inside oi said circle. In such movement tube 80 is cl rated by the track 833' hereto- ?orc explained and rod 57 is depressed by arm 09 heretofore described.

gw'ro on. The operation has been alreadv esplaincd alongwith. the description of the parts. but a brief statement of the general operation is presented here for makin the inatteiwmore clear. The glass is gathered and introduced into the press mold at the position indicated at the left-hand side of Fig. As the table moves farther in the direction of the arrow Fig. 4 and by the time the said mold reaches A position, the blow head will have closed down on the upper end of the press blank. By the time said mold has reached the B position. the blank has been pressed and the bottom has been moved downward and the blow head elevated. While said mold then moves to the t position. the press mold is rotated and the blow head has been let down into What is then the upper end of the press mold for engaging the upper end of the blank so as to support it when the press mold is removed. Br the time it reaches the D position. the mold sections of the press mold are st-imrated and the blank is suspended- Vi hilc passing to the G position. the bln'im 1s mold position to the bl c mold position. the press mold at the ii and F positions being pen. At the (l osition the blank has been jntrorlw-cd into the blo mold and the hlow hcad is closed at the top of the blow opening and the bot-tom closed at the bottom thereof and the blowing is commenced and continued to the H position. From the H position to the J' position the sections of the blow mold are being 0 ened and the glass article is removed Tom the I position. \Vhilc the blow mold is at the I position. the press mold head is at the J position and is being inverted back to its inverted position and when it reaches the K position, the bottom 26 is returned toward the lower end of the mold and when it reaches the gatheringposition, the bottom entirely clos s the lower end of the press mold. l l

To permit the oscillation of the tube 80 and rod 57 so as to transfer the blank as well as the blow head and bottom, the rod 5'. has an inverted U-shaped slot 81. see Fig. it), into which the key 83 projects. That is. the slot 81 consists of two parallel Vertical slots connected at their upper ends with the enlarged opening so that when the .rod 57 is in its down position. the key 83 will permit it tooscillate, but when in its upper position the key will be in a lower part of saidslot and prevenhsuch oscillation. This latter condition exists when the bottom is closing either a. press mold or a blow mold. When it is closing a. press mold, the key projects into the near lower portion of the slot. but when the bottom is closing the blow mold the parts are in the position shown in Fig. 10.

The slot 82 in tube 80 is U-shaped. that is, it has two paflallel upper extensions. as shown in Fig. 11, and they are connected horizontally at their lower ends. Therefore. when the tube 80 is elevated. it can oscillate.

but when in its downward position. it can not oscillate and thus it is held rigidlv in place by the kev 83 when the blow head is either on the blow mold or press mold. The horizontal connections between the Darallel portions of the two slots 81 and 82 are illustrated in Fig. 12, which shows their relative positions at the time the rod 57 and tube 80 are to be oscillated and in said figure. the positions of the a m 78 in the two positions in which it is oscillated are illustrated by dotted lines.

The cutoff mechanism for severing the gather of glass which is in the mold from the portion of glass above the mold is shown in plan in Fig. 15 and in front elevation in Fig. 1 and the side view thereof is shown in Fig. 21. It consists of two circular disks or blades 135m0nnted in stationary position and overlapping each other and rotating toward each other on the side adjacent the press mold which is in a gathc jng position so that as the table moves with the gather of glass in the press mold. the glass above the mold will come into cngageinentmvith the two cutting disks at their point of overlapping and be severed Thea blades are secured on vertical spindles 1:36 which are rota-laid mounted in a horizontal arm 13'? on a frame 337 rigidly secured to the column 11, as shown at lhe right-hand of Fig. l, by clumps 237 on post 1]. The uniting disks. are rolnles'l by moshing gears 140 on respontire spiinll s and one of said gears is driven by n rbsin ill From :1 pulley on :1 rerlienl shaft iii 1 11h is mounted on said iLllEl 137 and extends downward lJi-lld? the table and has :1 Friction disk M3 sernred lhereon which, frirtionally engages the periphery of the table and is thereby actuated.

(ompressei'l air is supplied to lbs air tubes 77 and Q9 herelolore referred lo from a wnl'ral lulnilnr column 530 to which compressed air is supplied from some suitablesourile through tube 150 at the toil as seen in Fig. '29. Air from the column 20 passes through the rigid pipes lfil lo lho flexible tubes 88 mid also lo 'erliioal pipes 159 that. pass down through lhe table and connect with the flexible tubes '57. i

The tubes 80 have on their npper ends two rollers 87 localed at. 90 aperfi so that said tube 80 will be supported by lhe left hand roller 87 on the track 85 when the blank has been pressed and the other roller will sup port said tube when the blow mold is being oporated. Said tube is oscillated about JQ in transferring the blank from lihe press mold to the blow mold,

It is to be observed that in this machine hinged molds are obviated and instead the sections of the molds are moved away from and toward each other by rmrslnipod springs mounted in the table siniqiorh said springs being located where it is desired to open and close the molds. This renders needless springs or other means on the molds, as heretofore. for closing and. opening them. Also the press mold in its inverted position. shown in Fig: (i has a liming upper end above the si might portion of this inner surf-sol:- of said mold ll h forms l e glass: The upper Q-lE- so as to l ilitnto ihe introdnrinni ,7 gather oi' glass.
